THE GESTURE OF SITTING DOWN : (Next)
(...) However, compared with a wooden chair, I discovered how they could materialize a simple, pure gesture, the embodiment of an almost calligraphic symbol in space, an apparent lightness of writing where technique is flexible in turning ideas into reality.
Finally, for an idea, it is really comfortable.
Sit down, you will be surprised.
After the era of the chair as a "fundamental gesture" came the era of the armchair, as if I was overtaken with fatigue. A very dignified fatigue, supported by an iron carcass to prevent total collapse, but padded with down and covered in velvet to ensure gentle relaxation. In other words, a balance between contrasts, between austerity and Baroque as an omnipresent recurring theme.
